If you think UK tech-metal band Monuments were in trouble when longtime vocalist Chris Barretto left the band recently, fear not, because his replacement is just as impressive. Enter current Makari // WVNDER // Termina vocalist Andy Cizek, who has added yet another band to his repetoire by joining Monuments. While the multitalented vocalist joined the band last year to fulfill touring obligations, Cizek has now joined the band on a full-time basis with their new song, “Animus”.
“Hey y’all, we’re excited to show you our new track ‘Animus’. Lyrically, this song explores overcoming anxiety. Embracing your burdens and letting them flourish into a positive driving force. Thus, these demons became my ‘Animus’. Thanks for listening.” states Andy Cizek about the track.
The band is also touring North America later this year on a rescheduled tour with fellow progressive metal band Skyharbor, and rising rock band Vespera.
